Adam Ereli (the deputy spokesperson for the US State Department who makes regular appearances during the press conferences on C-SPAN) still has not answered the following email which was sent to him this past March (2005):
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 17:38:44 -0800 (PST)
Subject: For Adam Ereli/US State Department
To: erelija@state.gov
Mr. Ereli,
I had written to the US State Department last year and never received a reply as I had inquired as to when Mark Susser (with the Department of the Historian) will enter Captain Ward Boston's declaration (about the USS Liberty attack/cover-up) into the historical record. Captain Boston's declaration can be read at the following URL:
http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/ul-boston.html
One can watch esteemed US intelligence writer James Bamford reading Captain Boston's declaration via the 'History in the Making: State Rules on the 1967 Arab-Israeli War' link near the bottom of www.irmep.org as the following article is from the San Diego Union Tribune:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/military/20040217-9999-1n17liberty.html
I assume that you know about James Bamford's latest book ('A Pretext for War') which conveys the 'A Clean Break: Strategy for Securing the Realm' (war for Israel) agenda of the Likudnik (JINSA/CSP/PNAC) Neoconservative cabal which pushed the USA to attack Iraq for Israel (one can read about such from pages 261-269 of 'A Pretext for War' via the following URL):
'A Clean Break' (from James Bamford's 'A Pretext for War' book):
http://www.itszone.co.uk/zone0/viewtopic.php?t=28769
It is incredible how JINSA Zionist extremist operative John Bolton has been appointed as the next US Ambassador to the United Nations as the following URL conveys:
JINSA Zionist Operative John Bolton Just Named as US Ambassador to UN:
